I downloaded the image of Judas Priest British Steel to be unique on here and now some new member is using my image. I did not realize that the image was loaded into CU's avatar function. I am not happy about this.The members name is Sportsamerica. Mike

Did you ask him to change it?

Can we use our own?
If so, how do we go about it?
Thanks,

The Icon upload feature is activated on the 15th of each month from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Pacific Time. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday it will be activated the Friday prior.
As you have experienced there are issues with uploading the images from Mac’s which we haven’t been able to resolve. Also the size requirements for the icons are no larger than 100x100 and 10k.

Once a pic is in the system, anybody can use it.
It is bad form to knowingly use somebody's uploaded avatar, BUT
there is no "rule" against it.
You could always change yours . .
As a child of 80's "metal" a little piece of me died the day I popped that atrocity in my boom box tape deck the first time.

Since I just find the images online and reduce or crop them to fit the 100X100 rule, I don't really consider them "mine." I've had a couple of people use old ones I had uploaded (Hank Aaron rounding third after hitting the homer in the '71 All Star game and the one of him from the waist up, circa 1966.) In general, I'm happy to share.
I change mine as often as I can, so I've never had anyone use one that I was sporting at the time. That might get a bit annoying.
rude? hardly.
Bad form? hardly.
Elsnorto, you are using one I uploaded. I demand you immediately switch to the image of Judas Priest British Steel.
Thank you for your co-operation.
that is the worst stealing an avatar!
.... I'd probably be happy there was at least one other fan out there....
Then I'd promptly change it. After all, I've had this one for a while.
ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!
I'm thinking of using a 1986 topps Alan Knicely -- better not steal it - but if you trade me a '52 Mantle you can use it.

By the way, I loved the Turbo Lover reference. I am "Locked In" now. ;-)

I remember the British Steel album very well - 6th grader at the time.
Nah..........
